RE: Can any Trisquelers help me? What do I do? We have two LG Smart TV's and
a Panasonic Smart Viera.
You can do a number of things.
- At the router level you can find out which hosts it is connecting to (via
e.g. WireShark) and blackhole those domains.
Tom's Hardware provides an example
1) Put a piece of black tape over the camera
2) Open up the remote/TV, and rip out the microphone / put a drop of
superglue in the microphone.
3) Make sure that you do not put any of your personal details into the TV.
Problem gone like magic.
I think everybody aware of the matter should talk and explain to those that
have no idea of how much personal info,and what kind of info, those
monstrosities collect!
Those who know, those who are aware, but don't care, I feel sorry for them -
but if they don't care about their privacy,

Many LG Smart TVs come with a remote control or other input devices that can
be operated using voice commands. We may use your Voice Information to power
the voice activation used by the Smart TV or input device (e.g., remote

Not one mention of the Brand, model or reference documentation? A Smart TV
can be a wonderful tool in the realm of Free software. I see lot of
generalization for the concept and not for the current status quo.
You also will have to understand that you do not represent the whole
user-base for the Smart TV technology and there are can be many
applications in the enterprise and hospitality world among others. The
products that are are mostly talked about are catered towards households and

I literately haven't seen a single productive enterprise use of a Smart TV.
I disagree. A smart TV is nothing more than building a computer into the
TV. You can easily achieve the same effect by plugging in a computer to a
normal TV. I do this all the time with my laptop, and you could also use any
desktop PC. Think Penguin's Penguin Wee computers would be perfect

compatible with Trisquel through VGA? Also any information about things to
look for to avoid buying one that's smart in any way is very much needed,

i have the same problem
it rely worries me that it has a inbuilt microphone and camera and is

but even though my family understand and dont like the fact they can be spyed
on it seems to be too hard for them to sell a tv they like and spent alot of

Here's a dangerous trick: call the TVs telescreens, and refuse to do
anything in the presence of them. That might trigger a helpful response,
depending on what kind of people your parents are and whether they've read

I would throw away my TV but the wife won't let me. :D Before we moved in
together I was free of that rotten box for a good 7 years. Once you start to
see it in the house again do you realize just how poisonous and dangerous it
is to society, at least on the commercial channels.

Same thing over here. There's no way to convince them or any such thing. It's
their freedom and privacy they're ridding of.
I tried telling my family about these things, but they all don't care about
privacy. At all. They have this I have nothing to hide, privacy doesn't
exist mentality, and
I live here. That's the problem. I have no way out. They are imposing
restiction and non-privacy on me. THAT'S the problem.
Well spoken, supertramp...
Throw away your television!
Oh. That's bad.
Perhaps explain to them why privacy is important, and maybe they'll start to
care. Maybe.

There is nothing you can do really besides explaining once or twice why

Yeah, I have showed them User Liberation. Hopefully all this Free Software

they need to change their ways.
Yeah. You're right. I don't watch TV, ever, so it is more of their problem.
They also use Netflix, which I don't like much either.
I live with my family. Every single television in our house is now a Smart
TV.

When your parents say something like this: I've got nothing to hide then is
it your right to say: Show me your bank account. Probably they doesn't
understand it, but everyone has something to hide and it is important to hide
it.
